I'm having an issue where T4 thinks it has a height offset H8. Not sure where height info is coming from. I have measured all the tools for this job prior to starting. The face mill -T13 worked as expected but after changing to what is supposed to be an 1/8 endmill - T8 the program seems to think it's T4 Fortunately passed above the part.
I'm using Fusion 360 for CAM and had created posts for this sequence that worked before. Apparently I've done something to confuse myself...

Tool offsets and heights are called out in the g-code. Post the file you are trying to cut.

Here's the file ...I should have known...sorry

As a comparison here is a post from just the tool path for T8 - In my limited knowledge I think is may be ok.. I see T8 and H8
In the previous post line 145 has an additional T4...not sure why but I think that may be the problem. Could I have a corrupted post processor?

EDIT I took out the Line 145 and it appears to be the problem...Now I don't trust the output of Fusion 360 8-(

If you look at your file, the height offsets are not loaded until 4 or 5 lines after the tool change. T4 is loaded in block N81215. At that point the previous tool offset (H8) is still active because yoir post does not issue a G49 to cancel it. The new height offset for T4 is not loaded until block N81245.

The T4 on block N145 is preloading the tool for the toolchanger.

I'm using the generic post processor for Centroid from Fusion 360 so I'm guessing that is not appropriate for my machine. I have a Tree J325 knee mill with no tool changer . Unfortunately I am not well versed in Changing the PP but I did find a Fusion question that was similar and the suggestion was to modify the post parameters - not sure how to do that

If you go into the Fusion 360 tool library and look at the post processor options for the tool in question, I think there's an option to tell it the tool requires a manual tool change. Might be misremembering but this may be causing the preloading.

I've read that pre-loading may be the problem. I haven't found where to change it. The tools are set to manual change

I'm going to change to Franco Post - It appears to do as I expect. It had the option for Pre-Load Checked so I unchecked it. The standard Centroid PP I was using did not seem to give the option to change the Pre Load.
If someone can recommend a good post processors for fusion 360 Milling I would like to try it.

I highly recommend Swissi's Fusion post processor..
